Jype hit the fuckin jackpot with Hazard as captain

Table looks good. Arsenal will drop points in the coming weeks. they have Liverpool and United next month. City are the bigger threat though and a win next week against them will be a huge boost because this Chelsea team is yet to win a big game. Also City are going to Moscow in midweek aren't they?

can't tackle a GK when he's bouncing the ball.

that's why it's a foul apparently

He was due a moment like that. Has cut down on those lapses of concentration. Very casual with his passing though. That is something he can work on. Just gave the ball away 2-3 times when under no pressure.

He did well yesterday. Many times he ran down the channels and linked up with Hazard or Willian. Took his goal well too

ivanovic looked out-of-sorts yesterday. Mourinho should realize that it's time to give Azpi a game. He can do more than just League Cup appearances

should've been a lot more straight-forward though

Good strike from Kebab

Matchday! Finally!

yeah. unlikely but not impossible. especially players whose contracts are ending in 2014 or 2015

Definitely club but it is mostly because my country has probably never been in the Top 100 in the World Rankings

A quality CM if available - Witsel, Gundogan...

The England National team is funny. Players like Smalling, Cahill, Milner, Welbeck sit on the bench at their clubs but start for country.

It'll make a difference in the big games. Ofcourse, chance-creation is important but with Oscar as our main goal outlet, we won't win much. Against tough opposition, the team creates very few chances to begin with and our strikers pass them up. Maybe a world class forward was not needed but atleast someone like Mandzukic, Negredo, who can be a handful and take chances up front was enough.

Oh. So, the sequence also matters Simply for the heck of it I assume

Norwich 1-0 Southampton. Norwich take the crown Norwich 1-3 Chelsea. Chelsea take the crown.

Pat Nevin is heavily biased towards Chelsea and yeah, the Garth Crooks guy has been writing every week on BBC about how Luiz is useless and Cahill should start over him. Clueless

Lack of options really. Lampard will be a passenger against Yaya/Fernandinho. Essien has barely got any gametime. Mikel is the next best option.

Weird seeing Essien make the bench against Norwich over Mikel But he will play in the tougher games. Lampard is easily overrun now. Not his fault but against Man City later in the month for example, starting Lampard would be suicidal. Mikel-Ramires is the way to go then

Lampard can't be starting as many games as he has so far. One quality midfielder is needed

Didn't break Norwich down though. Won through a counter

Lucky Lucky Chelsea

Lucky Lucky Chelsea

although tbf, that was the 4th or 5th goal in a Old Trafford thrashing this was a come-from-behind away game
